Linode今天17岁了!我真诚地感谢整个Linode团队，他们努力工作，相互支持，以及你--我们的客户。正如我们在过去几年所做的，我们想通过一些更新来庆祝...
今年的更新是基于你，我们的客户和社区成员的意见，并包括DNS渲染时间的改进，更大的专用CPU实例，高内存计划去专用，以及在所有地区管理Kubernetes的可用性*。
DNS管理器 - 渲染时间的改进
当你添加或改变DNS区域或记录时，你的变化现在将在60秒内反映在我们的权威名称服务器上。这比我们以前的 "每一刻钟 "的方法要短。这应该使那些需要更快反映到世界上的变化的人的生活更容易，比如在做Terraform 部署和其他情况下。
Linode的DNS管理器服务是免费的，并由世界各地的100多个任意投掷的POP提供服务。
新的更大的专用CPU实例
去年，我们将专用CPU实例的存储量增加了一倍，我们将继续通过三种新的怪物计划来扩大这一实例类别：专用的128GB，专用的256GB和专用的512GB。请查看计划阵容以了解更多信息。
专用实例是为需要稳定性能或需要全负荷工作（100%的CPU，每天）的工作负载而优化的。这包括构建盒、CI/CD、视频编码、机器学习、游戏服务器、数据库、数据挖掘和繁忙的应用服务器。开始使用专用的CPU。
高内存计划升级为专用内核
我们的高内存计划，以前是在共享CPU上运行，现在将在100%的专用CPU核心上运行。这意味着更好的性能和资源利用率，以支持您的高性能数据库、内存缓存和实时大数据处理。这种升级保持相同的价格。
如果你是一个高内存计划的现有用户，你将被赋予升级到专用核心的选择。开始使用高内存实例。
Linode Kubernetes引擎达到全球可用性
Linode Kubernetes Engine（LKE）最近发布，作为一种简单易行的方式，使用管理的Kubernetes构建你的基础设施。在过去的几周里，我们扩大了LKE的覆盖范围，以服务于我们的每个全球市场*。
如果你正在探索将Kubernetes作为部署的一部分，LKE适合你现有的Linode基础设施，可以通过云管理器进行部署、 API，或 CLI.它还配有免费的Kubernetes控制平面--包括API 、调度器、etcd和资源控制器。现在就创建一个集群。
* 请注意，在我们的亚特兰大数据中心计划升级之前，LKE目前还不能使用。
下一步是什么
- 额外的对象存储部署（下一个是新加坡）和功能（细粒度的ACLs，Let's Encrypt/自带SSL证书支持）。
- 更多的云管理器UI/UX改进（好东西）。
- NodeBalancer的改进（PROXY协议，Let's Encrypt证书）。
- 亚特兰大的升级改造
- 私有VLANs测试版
- 裸机Linodes测试版
- 管理数据库（从MySQL开始）测试版
- 自1月以来，网络和车队的稳定性和性能改进一直是我们的首要任务。我们大约25%的车队已经收到了这些更新，其余的即将推出。
我们每天都感谢您和您的业务，并期待着在我们进入第18年时为您提供服务。谢谢你。

I’m looking forward to the Bare Metal beta. Hopefully, you can upload your own raw disk images or have them downloaded for you, and perhaps, support for UEFI rather than Bios booting only. Depending on the pricing, I may get one to see how it goes!
As always, great updates from Linode, and a wonderful company it is!
Thanks for the kind words! Your wishlist for our Bare Metal offering has been noted, and we’ll post more details here on the blog as they become available.
Great! Happy birthday! Any update on Cloud Firewalls?
Cloud Firewalls are in the works! Keep watching this blog for updates because we’ll announce here when it’s ready for beta.
Happy Birthday Linode ! Love you guys XO
Happy birthday Linode! I’m also looking forward to the Cloud Firewalls and Private VLANs.
Happy Birthday !!!
may you specify “Atlanta Upgrades” please ?
exactly what kind of upgrades ?
Atalanta for example still does not have Block Storage.
kind regards, and Congrats on all your achievements !!!
Thanks, Randall! We’re planning on launching Block Storage and other new services in Atlanta, hopefully over the next several months! We’ll be sure to post here on the blog as updates on these upgrades become available.
Nice! Looking forward to managed databases, though looks like I’ll have to wait a bit longer, slight bummer — hopefully PostgreSQL is planned.
Have no fear, Managed Databases are still planned for this year. As this article mentions, we’ll be starting with MySQL, though Postgres is also on our agenda. There’s been a lot of work going into this, which we’ll be sure to announce here on the blog when there’s more to share.
Really eager to be able to have a managed Postgres option from Linode, can’t wait for that to be available.
Wishing you a very happy birthday, team Linode!
Solid improvements. However, the question everybody wants to know is: WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO BRAZIL??
Seriously guys. Come take our money. We need a Linode datacenter in Sao Paulo. For, like, yesterday.
Hey Felipe! There’s nothing to announce about Brazil, though we have been looking into a possible South America data center. If anything comes from this research, we’ll be sure to let you know by posting it to our blog.
Thank you. Also, as a customer, let me tell you we have no problem whatsoever in paying more. Please dont think you have to offer the same services for the same price in Brazil. You don’t.
AWS does exactly the same. The Sao Paulo datacenter costs more than US ones.
Also, they still charge us in USD (which is terrible, but anyways, we can live with it). We just need a local datacenter for better latency.
A data center in Brazil is the fifth most popular order in a major Linode competitor. Arrive early, we will be happy to welcome you! 🙂
Any chance of a managed VPN service, either for users or site-to-site? We currently run openvpn on each of our systems to let us access management ports or let the systems access our on-premise puppetserver, but it would be nice to not have to deal with that.
Hi Yehuda – Thanks for the suggestion. While there’s nothing to announce for managed VPN services, I’ve passed this along to our team to look into.
Happy Birthday Linode ! Love team Linode!
Happy birthday!
One question concerning DNS render time improvements, though. Does that include slave zones?
For new slave zones, yes, they’ll see the same speeds as the new master zones.
The render time for external zones won’t change, but they’ve always been pretty quick to update.
Happy birthday Linode!
You have done a fantastic work!
My account says “Account active since 2009-04-11”.
Thank you for the your support!
I would like to see custom ISO support as simple as Vultr does it.
Hi Lonnie! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us about Cloud Manager enhancements. This is a feature we have on our radar, and I’ve made sure to add your interest to our internal tracker.
Happy Birthday, Linode, and Team. You guys are tremendous, I have numerous projects running on Linode only and never feel of switching to any other host.
Few things I would like to see on Linode in coming days:
1. Linode’s own CDN, since Linode has servers everywhere.
2. Cloud firewall and Private VLANs.
3. I want to see more in Mumbai datacenter.
Great suggestions! The Cloud Firewall and VLANs are happening, and we’ll post the details here on the blog as they become available.
I brought up your request for the CDN to the team, and they let me know that this is also something that’s on our roadmap, although there’s not an ETA on it yet as we’re in the beginning stages of looking into it.
We now have Kubernetes available in Mumbai. Anything in particular you’re interested in seeing added there?
Can’t wait to finally have a private network between data centers, and a real private network (not shared) within the same centre.
Another year and Linode will be able to vote! God help us : )
